Guinness World Records 2019

Butcher Barry John Crowe, 28, from Cavern, Ireland, is in the book for the Most Sausages Made In A Minute. At the tender age of 10, Barry started helping his parents in the family’s butchers shop and has been perfecting his sausage-making skills ever since. He now runs the family business and credits his parents for his confidence which has seen him create a range of 36 different sausage types, even including chocolate chip and honey comb [Photo: Paul Michael Hughes/Guinness World Records]

From the oldest flying trapeze artist to the fastest speed in a jet-propelled go-kart, the most sausages produced in a minute or the largest knitting needles, the feats have been recorded in the Guinness World Records 2019.

Animals feature too, with the highest jump by a dog include in the list as well as the most double dutch-style skips by a dog in one minute.

Along with each world record comes the story behind it, like that of Sumiko Iwamuro, who has the record as the oldest professional club DJ at the age of 83 years and 188 days.

Other record-breakers revealed today include: the most dice balanced on a cat’s paw; most body modifications (male); fastest 50m hand skating; longest time controlling a football with the soles whilst on the roof of a moving car; most fire breathing backflips in one minute and most consecutive back handsprings (one hand).
